Jochen looks correct. His suggestion is mentioned in the strtotime docs.
Sometime due to Timezone,
strtotime('last sunday') will return the last saturday.
To be sure that will never happen, use strtotime('last sunday 12:00:00')

To fix this very particular problem, you could try (untested)
strtotime("last Sunday 12:00") and it should/might return the EPOC for lunch
time that day (assuming it's only the date that matters to you, and not the
time).
I'm guessing the problem your having is that strtotime("last Sunday") is
returning the EPOC for midnight which is being translated as Saturday 11pm.
strtotime always made me feel uneasy. Feeling confirmed.

Subject: Re: [phpug] Daylight Saving
hi there,
the date is echoing correctly currently to the right time and day
the issue is when i use strtotime("last Sunday") it shows its a
Saturday? (25th September) instead of Sunday 26th September
this is so frustrating...
any advice?
